Review Summary

Across numerous reviews, Renzo Sandwich is described as a standout Montreal spot for big, hearty subs made with fresh bread and generous fillings. Lovers of the place praise the bold flavors and solid balance in classics like the Philly cheesesteak, mortadella artichoke, roast beef Italian, cubano, the Renzo chicken, and the turkey club, though some sandwiches vary in quality and notes about too much sauce or underseasoned meat appear. The bread is repeatedly highlighted as crusty and soft, a big factor in the overall positive impression, and portions are noted as substantial, sometimes massive. The vibe is warm and retro, and service is often fast and friendly, with takeout a strong option for busy days, though peak times can mean waits or crowded seating. Value is seen as fair to high given portion size and ingredients, with many calling it the best sandwich spot in Montreal, while a few feel certain items miss the mark and the atmosphere cannot fully compensate. Desserts such as tiramisu and key lime pie receive praise and add to the overall experience. Taken together, the reviews present Renzo as a must-try destination that excites aficionados, while acknowledging occasional inconsistency and practical downsides like seating limits and service during rushes.

After watching an influencer's review, I decided to pay this establishment a visit. I ordered a no.2 (Philly Cheesesteak), a no.4 (Cubano), & a no.6 (Roast Beek Italian).

Staff is in-tune with one another like a well-oiled machine. They are respectful. They all make efforts to keep their work area clean. Bravo!

As stated on the menu, the Philly Cheesesteak is VERY messy. Delicious. Nowhere as good as the real Philly deal, mind you, but worthy.

The Cubano was meh. The mixture of ingredients didn't sit well with my tastebuds. It wasn't bad, no, but if I ever visit this place again, I won't be ordering it again.

The Roast Beef Italian was the best of all three sandwiches. The horseradish mayo wasn't my favorite, but at least I tried it & will know for next time.

Prices are reasonable as their sandwiches are LOADED with ingredients. Parking can be a real PITA so prepare yourself mentally before visiting this place.

On the plus side, they have at least two vegetarian options. However, be ready to like olives if you take the végé sub! It's so powerfu l that in a sandwich with at least ten other ingredients, it's impossible to pick any other. & if you get a lucky bite, it's honestly pretty tasteless, which is surprising with those peppers & onions.

On the plus side, service is nice & quick & the ingredients seemed all quite fresh. But if you don't eat meat there are better Italian options in the city for cheaper.

Very disappointing. Not horrible, but disappointing. I ordered the italian roast beef. The bread itself was fresh & delicious however there was so much unseasoned shredded lettuce that it made my entire sandwich flavorless. The meat was also cold which isn't what comes to mind when you order a roast beef sandwich. My friends enjoyed their Renzo Sandwich, the chicken was crunchy, however also mentioned it was under seasoned. They said of all, the Philly Cheesesteak was the best.

I had such a high after the 1st time I went, I got the porchetta. Great sandwich packed full, just a little under salted. I went back thinking I'd try something new & the Italian beef caught my eye & I wish it hadn't... The Italian beef was pink, chewy & cold inside, also under seasoned. It was not enjoyable at all. I haven't tried everything, & at 15$ a pop it's a once a month kind of place. But that Italian beef really turned me off. Not sure when I'll get back to Renzo's. Also smilling at your customers won't kill you, the guy that handed me the sandwich looked like he hated life.

We visited Renzo's as part of our Montreal Sandwich Challenge & it was the perfect way to kick things off! 🥪 The sandwich was absolutely delicious - packed with flavor & super fresh ingredients. We loved the Italian-inspired touches like mortadella with a unique Montreal twist.
Eli ordered the Philly Cheesesteak & I got the Cubano. We loved the fresh ingredients, the crunchiness, bread, sandwich size, staff was very welcoming & helpful to make our choice.

Even though it's a small spot, it's clean & welcoming, with a cool retro vibe that makes it stand out. If you visit during the summer, you can even take your sandwich to one of the nearby parks & enjoy it outdoors - which we totally recommend!

Definitely worth the lineup. We'll be back to try more from the menu! Still in doubt, check out our vlog about this place.
